Very frustrating.
I need a progressive throttle and lean, using the keypad blows. I've tossed it away more than Hopkins this year

It's really shocking how they left this game unfinished, unwelcoming and totally confusing. The menus are really, super annoying. Big thumping noises and clicks and hootzpahs but nothing for a simple notification that someone has joined your online session.
There are no real avenues to discuss the game(within the game)let alone any easy ways to host, kick, chat or modify the game. Menus that hide themselves and all the features that are forsaken. It stinks and stings.
Well, SB, you have a great Jstick. You need to download
Joy2Key and program your stick to emulate keyboard commands. Scan you downloads. This program was developed for the physically handicapped. Dont bother trying to get two, separate sticks/wheels to work. SBK09 itself doesnt allow it.
I wanted to put my (in game SBK09)rear brake on my right pedal from my Momo wheel. That would give me an axis to be subtle with the rear brake instead of what I do now, tap tap tap..the trigger of the joystick.

My setup
Joystick: Precision Pro2 force(Microsoft)
Push for accelerate
Pull for front brake
Trigger = rear brake
Side to side = turning
Top JS buttons = shifting up/down
Joystick "lever" aka throttle = Rider lean

I had another amazing session on Sunday. Imola, 5 laps in the rain, no mistakes and finished 45seconds ahead of everyone. I was on rails! The close racing is the shite tho. Clean passes, good manners and fast laps.
The trick to cockpit 1 is that lean lever. Get that right and you get your maximum grip. I usually dont force the cockpit view online because so few will join the server then. Sigh. However, I highly recommend it because it simulates riding better than anything so far. Once you "get it" you'll be faster, with less hours, than the chase view crowd. You also have advantage with joystick. It's another axis to master but, because it makes it realistic, and we're real bikers, we have the advantage of experience and intuition. The more realistic they make these sims, the more advantage we have... in theory.
I am
cockpit1=extreme on the server, I'll be hosting a few tonight. If you guys join with a Zilla in you name, or let me know what moniker you have, I can start a server with 20 laps and we can stay together and just practice. It doesnt have a "join in progress" like most so, we have to start together if we want to practice. I start a lot of 2 laps races because it's less time for people to wait if they want to join.
After you see my lines you'll see why I am whoopin the arcade crowd with so little time in. It's really too phunny.... phun too. Good luck! Let me know if you need any help with j2K.
I've got a brand new, size Med, official Kawasaki Tshirt that I'll ship to any Zilla member(1year old membership minimum) who can beat me in a three lap race on full, extreme settings in forced cockpit...
I know, I know, it's merely a Kawasaki T... think of Marco putting up instead of Kawi pulling out!
The prizes we could assemble and distribute! The misc, quality stuff, we all have, we never use or wanted or doesnt fit, we could ship around. Maybe the grand prize = donation(in the winner's name) to the airfence or injured riders fund. Something to think about anyho.
I say this is better than poker night.
